It wasn't pretty by any means, but Northwestern picked up a big overtime win over DePaul to move to 10-1 on the season. The Wildcat offense looked out of rhythm throughout most of the game, taking uncharacteristic shots early in possessions and missing short on the majority of their threes. Despite having the size advantage, Northwestern lost the rebounding battle by three in the first half, including seven offensive rebounds. After falling down by as much as seven, Chris Collins switched to the 2-3 zone with nine minutes remaining, a move that proved effective in limiting DePaul's presence on the offensive glass.
